"BC"
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2005 6:44 pm
A very proper elderly lady began planning a week's camping
vacation for herself and her Baptist Church group.
She wrote to a campground for reservations. She wanted to
make sure that the campground was fully equipped and
modern, but couldn't bring herself to write the word
"toilet" in her letter. So, she decided on the
old-fashioned term "Bathroom Commode." Once written down
she still was not comfortable. Finally she decided on the
abbreviation "B. C." and wrote, "does your campground have
it's own B. C.?"
When the campground owner received the letter, he couldn't
figure out what she meant by "B. C"
He showed it to several of the campers, one of whom
suggested the lady was obviously referring to a Baptist
Church, since there was a letterhead on the paper which
referred to a Baptist Church.
So he sent this reply:
Dear Madam:
The B. C. is located nine miles from the campground in a
beautiful grove of trees. I admit it is quite a distance
if you are in the habit of going regularly. No doubt you
will be pleased to know that it will seat 350 people at
one time, and it is open on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday
of each week. Some folks like to take their lunch and make
a day of it.
The acoustics are very good, so everyone can hear even the
quietest passages. It may interest you to know that my
daughter met her husband there. We are also having a
fund-raiser to purchase new seats, as the old ones have
holes in them.
Unfortunately my wife is ill and has not been able to
attend regularly. It's been a good six months since she
last went. It pains her very much not to be able to go
more often. As we grow older it seems to be more of an
effort, especially in cold weather. Perhaps I could
accompany you the first time you go, sit with you, and
introduce you to all the other folks who will be there. I
look forward to your visit. We offer a very friendly
campground.
Yours sincerely,
J Brown.
